Chapter Eighty-Five: A Break with the County Lieutenant

It is said that last night, Wen Cheng took Chen Xiang, Wu Liang and a number of sergeants to visit the magistrate of Yuechi County, who was in the backyard of the Shenju County Temple and had hardly been out.

The two sides conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on the current situation.

At the beginning, the dying county magistrate was resolutely opposed to Wen Cheng's kind of "use of force to fight against the barbarians; or the threat of force, intending to use force to settle the barbarian invasion".

The county respected Wen Cheng and said earnestly: "If the teeth are hard, the teeth fall out first, right?" The tongue is soft, and the tongue lasts forever, right? Young man, don't be so steely! It's going to suffer a big loss... The old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten. ”

Yuechi County Zun went on to say that he was looking forward to peace and resolutely supporting it.

Ban Yuman is also a member of the Bashu family, and he also has the right to survive and the right to plunder.

The county respects the hope that Wen Cheng can sit down with Ban Yuman, negotiate amicably, coexist peacefully, and share a bowl of rice together...

- It's a big deal to mix an extra scoop of water when cooking!

Wen Cheng said: The two sides belong to the internal contradictions of the famous clan, and they are far from deteriorating to the point of "not sharing the sky", and they can share a blue sky.

However, whoever wants to eat must earn it by his own industrious hands; Living by robbing other people's things is an extremely wrong behavior, and it must be resolutely cracked down!

Wen Cheng said that Ban Yuman should rein in the precipice, not go further and further on the wrong road, and finally lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot - obviously, Ban Yuman has not yet comprehensively, correctly and timely recognized his serious mistakes, which requires us to help them move stones and smash their feet!

I want to let Ban Yuman know the word "pain", how to write it...

Due to the huge differences between the two sides in their positions, cognitions, and values, irreconcilable contradictions and fierce conflicts have arisen as a result. As a result, the talks, which were originally in a harmonious atmosphere and full of cordial and friendly atmosphere, suddenly came to an impasse.

Both sides of the talks agreed that the other side should bear the responsibility for the breakdown of the talks......

In the end, Wu Liang used his fists and short sticks to patiently persuade and educate the county magistrate for half an hour...... Of course, education is the mainstay, supplemented by persuasion;

and threatened to "support the former labor army" of the three concubines of the county honor, Yuechi county and Wen Cheng finally unified their thinking; Unified understanding.

The two sides decided to take concerted action to jointly maintain the good situation of stability and tranquility in Yuechi County.

Looking at the touching scene in the yard, where everyone rushed to donate their property and money, and worked together to resist the attack of the barbarians, Wen Cheng couldn't help but sigh: We, the landlords and old wealth, are worthy of being walnuts

You have to smash it and eat it!

~~~~~

Two more days passed peacefully

In the early morning, the mist is like a veil; The sun, in some seasons of Shuzhong, is a rarity;

Often when I appeared, the mist of water steaming on the ground covered the warm sun tightly.

On the castle tower

"Humph! Play the piano indiscriminately. Master Shi, who was holding the handle of the knife on the side, had a blue face: "The basket is getting bigger and bigger!" What kind of sin did the old man make...

Originally, seeing you arresting Xi, it was the safest thing to do! to take you to experience the battle formation; I never thought wow... You are the 'eighty copper coins in a string - not in tune (hanging)!

I'm so angry with the old man!

From now on, let's 'marry my father and mother' - take care of myself!

How much of a feat, can these baskets be forgiven? Hurry up and raise money, the 'ransom silver' set by the court has risen in price again! ”

Wen Cheng stood beside Master Shi and turned a deaf ear.

Taking a deep breath, he yelled at the mountains in the distance: "The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, who is afraid of whom?"

Savages, come on, come and shoot my iron head! ”

Not long after the words fell, many figures faintly emerged from the mist close to the ground...

Master Shi instantly drifted eight feet to the side silently: This crow's mouth! From now on, it's better to stay away from him.

The sergeants and people on duty on the city wall screamed excitedly when they saw that Ban Yu was touching him. Hahaha, whether you can change your fate depends on today!

Master Shi endured the fear in his heart and looked intently: he saw barbarians in the mist, in twos and threes, their clothes were wisps; help the old and the young, and crutches and sticks; All of them are full of vegetables and exhausted...

Master Shi couldn't help but wonder and asked Wen Cheng: "Wen Erlang, what do you mean by looking at this barbarian?" ”

Wen Cheng looked at these old and sick people who were getting closer and closer with a solemn face, and replied: "That Gong clan is the number one big and strong clan in the middle row of the Ban Yu; This far-sighted coming to Yuechi County is not a small picture.

Sending these old, weak, sick, and women here at this time should be a strategy to lure the enemy! ”

Wen Cheng pointed to the barbarians who were already less than thirty zhang away from the city wall: "My lord, please see, among these barbarians, there are almost no young people!" Its main force must be ambushed not far away;

These people in the city also have no siege ladders, claw ropes, striking wood and other equipment

Hmph, barbarians are barbarians after all!

They sent these old, weak, sick and disabled people to their deaths... I want to save some food for the clan, and I can also consume our arrows by the way! ”

~~~~~

Master Shi looked around at the soldiers on the city wall who were eager to make meritorious contributions, looked at Wen Cheng again, and said coldly: "Wen Jia Erlang is too worried. ”

Master Shi pointed to several women wearing sacks under the city wall: "A sack, with a hole cut at the bottom, is a piece of clothing that covers the ugliness; Walking crookedly, I am afraid that I have not eaten enough for several days;

It seems that the barbarians have been short of food for a long time...

Those barbarians must have scattered all over the countryside to plunder grain and grass! Otherwise, we don't have to wait for the slaughter to go out, and the barbarians themselves will starve to death on the road...

These old, weak, sick, and disabled women are here to delay our reinforcements to the villages, and to fill the ravines with human flesh sandbags!

Hahaha, laughing at the old man.

Look at it, you all take a good look: the sack on the left still says 'Yao Ji Grain Shop', and the one on the right... Hahaha, it actually says 'brown rice stone'!

Hahaha, soldiers, who is willing to exchange brown rice for a stone? It's better to have a mother-in-law warm quilt than nothing! ”

The soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter; There was even a more sloppy sergeant who made fun of Master Shi's topic: "Zhao Shisan, you brothers and three bachelors and three guns, make up one stone of rice, and marry that mother-in-law back, 147, 369, and rotate to use it, isn't it a good thing?" ”

"Go, go, aren't you also poor and can't afford to marry a mother-in-law? Why don't you buy it back? Look at her dirty appearance, isn't it a good match for you who haven't taken a bath for two months! ”

"Just wash it! I'm not without a mother-in-law, who can I show if I clean it up so neatly? ”

Wen Cheng's face was pale, staring at the barbarians who began to climb over the breastwork wall under the city, and instructed Wu Liang to ring the gong and gather all the young people in the city to go up to the city wall and prepare to defend against the enemy!

Master Shi glanced at Wen Cheng without night, and ordered his entourage loudly: "Prepare the car!" The old man wants to rush out and sweep away these barbarians! ”

~~~~

Wen Cheng glared at the so-called Master Shi: "The barbarians clearly have an ambush in the distance; Moreover, the barbarians are willing to drive their clansmen to death, so it can be seen that the barbarians dare not drag on any longer!

We can rely on the city walls and breastwork to defend against the barbarians, so why go out and increase casualties in vain?! ”

Master Shi shook his slam suddenly, snorted coldly, and pulled out his knife: "I am the boss!" Soldiers, are you willing to follow the old man out of the city and kill all these barbarians? Hahaha, it's all a human head military achievement! ”

After speaking, he pointed to a small colonel of the "Hundred Masters" in Han'an County and a small colonel of the Yuechi Garrison: "You two, quickly raise troops and horses, and follow the old man out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

Ignoring Wen Cheng anymore, he went straight to the city tower!

Na Shi Shilang hurriedly followed, trotting, and did not forget to turn his head and scold Wencheng: "It's not that you are a two-eyed Erlang who has caused a lot of trouble!" My eldest brother who is harmed is desperately trying to make more achievements and atone for his sins; If not, wouldn't he be killed by Assassin Shijun in the city? ”

Wu Liang approached the text: "Second uncle, why don't you take advantage of the time when the two of them go out of the city to shoot arrows?" ”

Wen Cheng's pupils shrank suddenly, glared at Wu Liang, and shouted: "You remember it for me!" On the battle array, they are all comrades! No matter what personal grudges and grudges you have, you are not allowed to stab your comrades in the back!

From now on, if you dare to say this again, I will kill you on the spot and circulate your head throughout the camp!"

In the midst of the battlefield, those who calculate their comrades, die! ”

Wu Liang's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down with a "poof": "Wu Liang doesn't dare!" Wu Liang didn't dare anymore! ”

~~~~

Wen Cheng still stared at Wu Liang tightly: "Liang, you remember: comrade is the person who allows you to entrust your back to him with confidence!"

With a colleague behind you, you should trust him enough! In the same way, your colleagues can trust you and rely on you enough.

Shall he be said to have no clothes, and be with the Son? How can it be said that there is no Ge, and the spear is the same as the son!

Each comrade is a brother to each other; Eyes and ears to each other, shields to each other...

Get up, you're still young, don't be crooked! Otherwise, don't blame the second uncle for taking you as a monkey chicken. ”

Wu Liang slapped himself a few times, and his cheeks suddenly became red and swollen: "Wu Liang wrote it down." Second Uncle Xie's teachings! ”

Wen Cheng didn't stop Wu Liang from slapping himself - this kind of principled mistake must impress him and leave a bottom line in his heart!

Wen Cheng looked at Master Shi who was standing on the "high car", pointing at the front of the cold knife, full of spirits, and rushing out of the city gate, and sighed secretly: "Wu Liang, take two hundred Han An troops, and prepare to meet Lord Shi!"

Chen Xiang, you will deploy Minfu and Ding Yong with me, and prepare for a hard battle!

The barbarians have been preparing for this siege for a long time; In addition, the barbarians are extremely short of food, and the first attack on the city must be extremely fierce! ”

I don't know when Master Shi turned over this "high car" from the treasury? Fortunately, there is no "Anche" in the treasury, otherwise, it is possible for this burnt bag Master Shi to play the live version of "Anbu as a car" for you.

Perhaps, Master Shi is a fan of Spring and Autumn - like the feeling of playing chariots and slacking off the battlefield?

Alas, I'm afraid this Lord Shi didn't understand: during the Spring and Autumn Period, wars had to be fought politely.

There are many thieves in the rules: in the busy season of spring farming, you can't fight; During the sacrifice, it is not allowed to be beaten; It's too cold and too hot to fight.

As for the battlefield, why not "attack halfway", you can "retreat" if you lose, admit defeat and retreat fifty steps, and the other party will no longer kill you...

Fifty steps of laughter and a hundred steps came about like this

- At that time, the war had little to do with the "Qianshou", "Nationals", and "Samurai"; Whoever the superiors tell us to fight, then go! Waving flags and shouting, beating gongs and drums, no problem, it's just a little tired.

The commanders of the warring sides are either cousins or relatives of relatives; Defeated, it doesn't matter, just lose the land and money - don't want your life.

Often after preparing for a month and traveling for a month, when they arrive at the place where the fight is dry, they have to wait for the commanders of both sides to toast each other, set friendships, greet each other's old people, and then point out the "wrong" places of the other party, explain "why should I come to beat you" and so on...

In many cases, the two sides discussed and politely finished the battle within three or two days.

- Times are different, wow! Since the Warring States War, they have all started to play routines...

Outside the city, the barbarians, the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the women were either knocked away by the dozens of cavalry and chariots that rushed out, or they were mercilessly slaughtered by the soldiers who followed, or they scattered and fled in terror...

Looking at Lord Shi, who was complacent and slaughtered women and children like a strong army, and he was still able to sweep away thousands of troops, Wen Cheng silently chanted: Good luck! Mr. Shi...

(Thank you, brothers who sent out red envelopes!) Although the monks do not know your name.

Please don't send red envelopes, it's all robots grabbing, there's no point.

In any case, Monk thank you again for your kindness! )
